SHIRT.

SPECFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 341,153, dated May 4, 1886.

Application filed August '20, 1885. Serial No. 175,647.

.To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOBLEDERER, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Shirt, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in whichsimilar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view of the front of my new and improved shirt. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the back ofthe shirt, and Fig. 3 is a detailed sectional view ofthe arnrhole with the sleeve removed. p

My invention relates to certain re-enforcements from the yoke to and under the sleeves, wherebythe shirt is rendered more serviceable than the common form of shirt, as hereinafter described and claimed. f

The body A and sleeves B are of the conimon form, and the yoke-pieces C are of the common form and stitched to the body A in the usual way.

At the shoulders and front of the shirt the body A is provided with the re-enforcing pieces D D. These are each of a width at the upper edge equal to or about equal to the length of the front seam of the yokes C, and they are cut nearly to a point or to form narrow portions lz, and of a length to reach from the said front seam oi" the yoke to a point under the sleeves. The edges d ofthe reenforcing-pieces D are cut on a plain curve, while the edges d are cut to describe two opposite curves, d2 d3, in the form of the line of beauty, to leave the spaeesff of the body A between the edges d and the edges of the bosom E of one thickness of material, so the re-en forcements will not prevent free movement of the arms forward or render the shirt too heavy and bungling. The front re-enforcingpieces, D, are stitched in at their upper edges with the front yoke-seams, a.

At their outer (No model.)

7L ofthe front re-enforcing-pieces, D, and are L joined thereto to form perfect and complete re-enforcements of the shirt under the sleeves. The edges g of the re-enforcing-pieces G are eut on a plain curve and are stitched in with' the sleeves. rllhe upper edges are straight and are stitched in with the yoke-seams L k, while the lower edges, j,are by preference cut to form double curves lt 7L', and are stitched to the body A by two rows o1' stitching, t'.

By forming the shirt as described it is re enforced at the shoulders at front and back, and is re-eni'orced all about the arm-holes and under the sleeves,which renders the shirt very strong and durable where the most wear and strain comes without rendering the shirt heavy and uncomfortable, and the re-enforcernents render the shirt attractive iu appearance.

Having thus described niyinventioruwhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is l The combination, in a shirt, of the body A, yoke C, and the front and rear reenforcing pieces, D G, reaching, respectively, along the front and rear edges of the yoke to the armhole, thence down the body ot' the shirt around the arm-hole to a point beneath the arm-hole, where the re'enforcing-pieces D G are joined,- substantially as described.
